I'm curious, has anyone ever actually tried sneaking in plate? Recently saw a video how mobile and flexible plate armor was. Makes me wonder if you could pull it off.
Have you ever put pots and pans away in your entire life? Zero chance you can sneak in plate mail.
I love how you're 100% confident in what it's like to do a combination of two things that you have no experience in whatsoever.
Plate mail is secured to your body by leather straps and cloth bindings. The whole point of platemail was to create armor that is molded fairly well to your body, and would turn blows.
You could run in platemail once it was fitted; it actually weighed less, and had fewer loose parts, then a modern soldier's gear.
Yes, the armored boot may make trying to be quiet more like sneaking in steel shoes, but it's certainly not going to be rattling around like pots and pans shifting.
It may be more tightly fitted than some shitty standard-issue Army helmet but it's not that tightly fitted, and it has plenty of overlapping metal parts. Even perfect armor will have movements that cause steel collision, which is going to be a hell of a lot louder than grunt kits are loose.
Metatron did a video about it, and you can be surprisingly quiet in plate - just keep your arms still so all the joints don't rattle against each other.
